Why I'll never go on a PvP server

[shu_ayala]

I logged on with my Lvl 31 champ/hibernia into Darkness Falls where I had logged him the day before.

I had plans to camp the plated fiends to build up my stack of emerald seals to buy myself some nice new armour.

I dropped down off the bottom step going into DF towards the merchant and exit area and got hit by another realms player for what must have been 99% health (I couldnt see anymore orange colour in my bar anyway) - the second hit killed me.

The two players in question were Viras and Coren - there was another two players that I saw running around with them but didnt catch there names.

Now I understand the argument that its a realm versus realm war - and killing other realms players is generally sensible so that they cant get back at you - especially if your more compromised the next time you see them.

But in all honesty what did they expect to get from killing me? Would it have swayed the realm versus realm fight towards the better for there realm? Would they have got 100's of RP's?

I doubt killing me had any affect at all - well besides irratating me.

All this brings me to the conclusion that the PvP server is going to be a very similar affair - with alot of immature (and not necessarily young) high level players running around killing lowbies becuase they have nothing better to do.... are bored or l33t or whatever you want to call it.

Why dont GOA forget about the English PvP server and go for another standard English Server instead.... or maybe even put the time into updating our present servers quicker!

dont go post, lvl and get even.
And we really dont have to go through the risks of hunting in the frontiers (yes DF is also a frontier) again?

 

[trigali]

Ow not AGAIN !!!

Go play in your realm if you only want to risk death by a mob.

 

[Danya]

Level 31 is high grey, so about 50-150 RPs maybe, so yes, 100s of RPs for you.

[WHINE]
But whyyyyyyyy???//??/?/ I'm only grey to them!!!!!111111
[/WHINE]
Every RP helps. Greys don't always give just 1 rp. Some give more.

Coren, yu teh EVUL!!!111!!!

Same old story. Been there, done that.

Don't know what's more immature though... Killing a greycon or whining about getting killed in a RvR zone and even trying to make a 'name and shame' post.

 

[shu_ayala]

Well err yeah thanks for the replies....

At least Dannyn gave a generally useful answer - I never knew that I was actually worth any RP at all.... what are rp points based on when you kill another player?

Oh and to the rest of you who replied..... p*ss off with your l33test I know everything crap!! I couldnt give a monkeys ass if its been said before or not - and I'm guessing most of you with the useless answers will fit in fine on the PvP servers (and possibly leave the more respectful players on the normal servers)

Thanks again Dannyn....

 

[old.Bubble]

I have played on mordrid...i really didn't like it

first it was fun going rvr to exp...but quickly having some lvl 40 waste our lvl 20 exping group while we had a mob pulled etc wasn't fun...also haveing some damm air theugist or enhanter gank me sucked

 

[old.Immortal]

again and again

this is like the 239021u4987875635897628346827346234th time someone complain about getting killed by purps..

..and to the one killing you, moaning on the forums is just bonus.

if you want even fights play chess or something i guess, cause daoc is deffinately not about fair fights

Oooh, Oooh, Blaen! We have a young padawen that needs your training in the arts of Flaming. Don't forget to introduce him to Bessie.

Well, I was there when they killed you, I think I even waved at you. I'd actualy prefered not to kill you, always fun with grey con pet but Viras and Coren were a bit bloodthirsty it seemed.
I think most people has killed their fair share of grey cons, aswell as spared a few. Either way it's nothing to whine about since you should expect nothing less from the second on you enter any rvr zone.

 

[Danya]

TBH shu_ayala, if it had been me instead of coren et al. I would have killed you too. Good RPs or bad, you're hib I'm alb...

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

If you are a lurikeen I would have spared you if not I would have killed you to, but hey im a man wearing a skirt.

 

[Danya]

I like the little squeek keens make when they die.

An answer you didn't want to hear isn't a useless answer. And generalizing people that don't give you the answer you wanted as '1337 PvP players' just made you look incredibly stupid.

 

[Danya]

Coren needs more blood today I think

 

[shu_ayala]

Well I dont know at which point I called you l337 PvP players?

I wasnt too pleased about how most of you answered becuase its always in the form of.... 'oh lord not another noob that doesnt know a thing' - lets just treat him like crap becuase he has complained about something he wasnt happy about - also if you look closely at the answer that was given how many of them actually did have some use? besides dannyn's?

The fact that I am worth some RP's makes things different anyway (which I didnt know was the case - I thought it was based similar to xp - that if the person you kill is grey to you - you dont get any RP's - like grey con in PvE) - at least in that respect I do understand why I was killed - so at least next time could you wait until I see the whites of your eyes... then gank me

 

[erl]

Just a remainder of a fact that I don't think many lowbies know: just because your enemy is puruple doesn't mean you're grey to them. At level 46 level 32 are green whereas a level 32 surely sees me as purple.

 

[old.diabolus]

gah on pvp server u just need to have a handy paper and a pen near u to write names of ppl down that have ganked u without any reason, be patient lvl lvl and lvl more and chain kill them mercyless or get ur guild to hunt em down easy eh? u dont have to be friends with all ur realm u know

my 2 cent and i believe pvp will be fun, getting rid of beggars will be fun

 

[SilverHood]

we managed to overun some SoTL and LoE members after our princess raid the other day

Was a pleasure seeing Coren biting the dust, as well as a few graves afterwards

Then we got split up, the high 40's running past the green mobs leaving those of us left to peel form the healers...... then we got zerged, Alb style

It was great

 

[omen_darkstep]

A full PvP server is so that evil people like me can run about whacking anyone who whines and bitches in this game - god knows it's full of them.

Personally I'd love a combined RP and PvP server... PvP for a reason.

Get your wizard alt out to Thidranki, Coren
So far every Alb/Mid caster has died to my bolts...

/waves at Isoch
I started feeling cruel after having one-shot him for the seventh time...

 

[Garaen]

Just do what i did, when i was ganked by a purple middie, i would note his name down on the list, i am now a high enough level to gank those people who killed me, i am determind to have a tick beside every name ive written down.

Once i ding, and the level 50's become orange i will head out after the ones that have ganked me numerous times in rvr and own them "solo style" (well thats the plan)

P.S ive become an Emain bum, im just to lazy to level <grin>

Nah, there's no greycons to kill there.

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Sheesh... I didn't plan on the general SotL attitude... *grins*

How about you guys can outnumber me 10/1... interested now?
I need more targets damnit...

 

[Jonaldo]

It's best if you don't go out into any frontier zones until level 37, if an alb then saw you were green con they would most likely run away instead of try and kill you.

If there were no grey cons in the frontier then most albs would still be rr0

 

[clearbrook]

What level do you need to be to con green/blue/yellow to a level 50 player anyway?

 

[old.Enigma]

shu I feel your pain but thats life and nothing you can do about it. You have to understand that these lamers can take down yellow cons just as easy as grey cons. So if you complain there are a many yellow cons to minstrels and infils that cant do a thing either. Don't worry the nerf bat is coming for the minstrel just smile at that and be happy. I advise the best way to die to these guys is to stand still and let them get on with it. Putting up a fight lets them thinkthere is some skill involved to what they do. Just treat it like an ld on a horse.

 

[old.Morchaoron]

My opinion on pvp server: If I want (team) deathmatch I'll go play a decent looking fps

 

[omen_darkstep]

All you goddamn phillistines n00bie DaoC players wouldn't have lasted a day in pre-trammel UO.

"damn, i never knew they could loot me!" - there goes my WoW sword drop!
